Visual Studio support for Buck project

Open njlr opened this issue 7 years ago • 7 comments

It would be useful to be able to generate a Visual Studio solution / projects using the buck project command.

Are there any plans to support this?

Should add that this is an advantage of CMake over Buck right now.

Generating VS projects directly from buck project is not supported. But you can use buck query to generate CMake files and then to visual studio projects

If you want, you can also consider contributing to make buck project support VS proj generation.

How do you use buck query to generate CMake projects? I can't find any documentation or examples around that.

@scramsby, unfortunately there are no examples of generating CMake projects - buck query provides a way to access all information specified in BUCK files and as such can be used by an external script to generate CMake or any other project.

Any chance this ever made it to the roadmap? Or anyone in the community figure out a good way to get a VS solution file generated from a buck project? I'd also be satisfied with hints/tips on generating binaries from buck with symbols for debugging :)

Is it still on the roadmap?
